My ride; Please critique / criticize and make suggestions. I need ideas!!! 56k BEWARE

[Civic11]

Okay guys,
*JUST WASHED*
Here is my ride for you to see finally. Please make any suggestions on what can make it look better. I have a 1997 HX Auto and since I bought the car for gas mileage (I'm a computer tech who drive 60-100 miles a day all over town) Mods under the hood are not going to be done; unless it will help with a stock setup.

Things I have done so far:

-Oven Headlight mod (Cleared out Amber in headlights (both the reflector and the housing))
-Wetsanded headlights (This worked VERY VERY WELL! Turned my headlights from yellow to clear!)
-99-00 Tail Lights (Red / Clear) Ebay
-Polarg Bulbs for all car=
Polarg Amber=Turn signals in front and rear
Polarg Hyper White=License plate lights, reverse lights, interior lights, trunk lights, headlights.
- 5% Tint every window except windshield ("5% tint so you can't see up in my window" - Slim Thug)

Things I already have, but too lazy to put on: (I want to find time):
-H&R Sport Limited Springs (2" in the front, 1.75" in the rear)

Things I am considering doing:
-Lip Kit in the front
-Removing Pin stripes


The car is stock under the hood with no plans to do anything because I have an HX Auto. It is a gas saver and that's its purpose, but I want looks only

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I want my car to look cool and I think I'm on target so far.

Thanks guys

"Very nice!! How much?" -Borat

I bought it used w/ 104k for $4500. I know that sounds like rape for some the guys on here, but in Colorado cheap Hondas are hard to come by. It was a private sale. Cars in this condition usually sell for 5000-5500 in my area.

I feel I got a great deal, especially (I know some can differ) because it is an HX. I love the gas mileage. I have hit about 37MPG pre tune-up / pcv valve replacement ( I will be doing alot of stuff maintainence-wise)

 

[Civic11]

Can I buy your HX rims?

Thank you for the offer, but I like them. I was thinking about doing that paint trick too and spraying them black, but leaving the lip polished. But I don't know yet.

 

[ChoNNe]

a drop will set it off nicely!

Heres some pics of my shitface ride:

How come your ride looks higher than mine. I think my suspension is stock. I wonder if it's because I have black sideskirts which give it a lowered effect since I have a black car.

 

[Civic11]

I dunno? Wierd I need to lower it though reallllllly bad.

You know, it could be just me because my car looks high from certain angles. I really want to put my H&R Springs on now.

 

[dc5_lov3r]

Paint the wheels white. Give it a Type R look.

You know, I was also considering painting the chrome piece in headlights to black, but then I b****ed out last minute. I sometimes think it looks odd because my car is all black everywhere and all of a sudden there is bright chrome in the front. IDK, I could always buy another pair of used OEM lights and spray those.

 

[CivicKid95]

put the springs on, I say uprgrade the rims since you're going for looks. somethin in the 15-16 inch range

 

[dank24]

yea man, drop it some , and it will look good since its so clean

 

[WillyBigNut]

looks like a really good start man. i would drop it and get a lip

 

[Coutts]

get some cash and do a 5spd conversion with a rhd conversion, if you have the cash lol

 

[aaren99]

Get it dropped, front lip and debadge the rear.

 

[dank24]

Its a girl...why are you calling her a man?

well excuse f**king me, I did not see her/his name stating his/her sex.

 

[Coutts]

Its a girl...why are you calling her a man?

y are you calling her IT? lol

 

[Gradeless]

Maybe, but my car is an EX yours is an HX (not sure if that matters for height?). Idk if you saw the accident thread I had on here but heres what the drivers side looks like now minus the spare since I had to get brand new rims and tires .

Getting some Z3 fenders and a new door then painting everything either: electron blue, championship white, or just paint the parts the color of the car.

that looks familier

 

[WillyBigNut]

Its a girl...why are you calling her a man?

lol oops

 

[Civic2007]

if youre gonna drop it then you will definitely need a camber kit before you get a lip....either 150 bucks for a camber kit or about 250 for tires every three months, take your pick.......you should get it lookin like mine haha



or heres a picture with my old black rims before i had my front modified, i like the black on black look

 

[Evan.]

clean... whats your plans?

 

[Gradeless]

Yep what happend to you? I got hit by a truck that ran a red light and then took off.

I got hit by an F250 who decided that yeild signs were not that important, do you have insurance? cuz if it was anything like mine it should be sitting at around 2900-ish in damages.
